Hospo Squad is Digital Squad configured for hospitality. The reviews below are Zib Digital's, from the same team.

  • “Have worked with Matt at Zib over the past couple of years and have found his knowledge, communication and processes used to optimise my reach to be flawless and driven by data. He regularly updates me on suggested pivots based on what the market is doing. Strongly recommend reaching out to Matt for a chat.”

  • “The team at ZIB has been exceptional from the moment I first reached out. They began by conducting thorough audits across all my platforms. The audit uncovered a significant gap in my strategy, I was missing out on a large portion of the market while my competitors were capturing that business. They deliver real results without the empty promises and jargon that so many others offer.”

  • “I had been referred to these guys and spoke with Matt directly. He was hand on heart the most honest AdWords/marketing guy I've spoken to - he pointed me in the right direction to a better strategy and saved me a heap of money in the process. Absolutely recommend you chat to him.”

FAQs

Straight answers.

Do we need an in-house marketer?

Yes. Someone has to implement what the agent recommends. If nobody owns marketing in-house, Autopilot or Zib Digital will suit you better.

Can it report on each venue separately?

Yes. One page per venue, weekly or daily, to whoever needs it: owner, ops manager or venue manager.

Can we keep our bookings dashboard?

Keep it. The agent reads it and gives you the need-to-knows, so nobody spends hours a month building reports.

Is it right for a single venue?

Usually not. A single venue with nobody running marketing in-house is better served by Autopilot or Zib Digital.

What does it cost?

A fixed monthly fee, plus a one-off setup to connect your venues and dashboard. Both are scoped on the demo, and adding a venue doesn't mean adding a salary.

Show us one venue. We'll show you where it leaks.

Book a demo and we'll run the agent across one venue's ad accounts: where the spend leaks, what's converting, what we'd change first.
